MOA-2009-BLG-266L b
MOA-2009-BLG-266L b is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 9,915 ly from Earth in the constellation Scorpius, discovered in 2011 by MOA.
Microlensing: spotted when its gravity briefly magnified the light of a more distant star.
Standing on MOA-2009-BLG-266L b, you would weigh almost exactly what you weigh on Earth. A year here lasts 7.7 Earth years.
What these mean: surface gravity · tidal locking · equilibrium temperature
If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
Gravity close to Earth's, at 1.0 times. A child would grow up much as they would back home.
A playful thought experiment from this world’s gravity, not a prediction about any real person. No human has ever grown up off Earth, so no one truly knows; the direction (taller in low gravity, shorter and stockier in high) follows how growing bodies respond to weight.
Hear how a voice sounds herea computed acoustic demo
Your voice would sound much as it does on Earth.
We do not yet have a temperature for this world, and its atmosphere is unknown, so its acoustics cannot be modelled. In Earth-like air a human voice carries as you know it, and without the temperature that is as far as the physics will take us.
- Surface gravity is close to Earth's, 1.01 times, so you would move much as you do here.
